SEARCHING ??

SEARCHING??
I think I spent a good part of my adult life searching.
Searching for what?
Serenity, peace, hope, optimism, a feeling of being comfortable in my own skin, love, deer relationships, material success, acceptance by others..and the list goes on.
Today, I read a great reminder, a quote sent by a friend from a book of truths. I'll share:
The Search

I walked all night long, the whole distance. . .

And I came into my apartment and I collapsed on the floor.

I lay there breathing kind of heavily and I said to myself,

"Oh, to hell with serenity. I don't care if it ever comes."

And I meant it. And do you know what happened?

All of a sudden the craving to find serenity utterly evaporated --

and in its place was serenity. The trouble was the search --

looking out there for what was right here.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 3], p. 142

Thought to Ponder . . .

I can find on the outside only what I possess on the inside.

It is funny how life works. After years of searching and not finding, I was guided to the answer. It was in me all along. A real trip to get so low and wonderful trip co-created with the help of others to get out! On a daily basis I am able to find "IT". (hopeserenity.ca/coached to success)
